Flame spread is an important parameter used in the evaluation of hazards for fire safety
applications. The problem of understanding and modeling flame spread has been …

" Drysdale's book is by far the most comprehensive-everyone in the office has a copy... now
including me. It holds just about everything you need to know about fire science."(Review of …

While the wildland–urban interface (WUI) is not a new concept, fires in WUI communities
have rapidly expanded in frequency and severity over the past few decades. The number of …

Fire spread in high rise buildings from floor to floor occurs if flames emerge and extend on
the façade of the building to cause ignition in floors above the floor of fire origin. Even …

The use of flame spread models as a tool in fire safety engineering practice is subject to
uncertainties arising from the assumptions inherent in the models and the input parameters …

Flame spread over a thermally thick slab of PMMA at several angles of sample orientation
from θ=− 90°(vertically downward flame spread) to θ=+ 90°(vertically upward flame spread) …

A comprehensive study on the flammability, flame spread, and flame extinction behaviors of
polymethylmethacrylate slabs and cylinders is presented. These behaviors have been …

A new model, which represents a unified description of material thermal degradation and
burning under thermally thin (non-dimensional), surface radiant heating (one-dimensional) …

Quantitative understanding of the processes that take place inside a burning material is
critical for the prediction of ignition and growth of fires. To improve this understanding and …

A detailed experimental investigation of turbulent diffusion flames under forced flow was
conducted to study local heat fluxes to a nearly adiabatic surface downstream of a gaseous …
